Julius Rosenberg? The Jewish guy sent to the Electric Chair. 

Wasn't it great in those days when they put Jewish people in electric
days? Now they
just go around stealing grand larceny style.

You know FDR...if *they* knew that there existed a Jewish guy named
Julius that was
sent to the electric chair for his crimes, they would have given him
that name in the movie.
Certaintly a mistake on their part.

But there's more...
